Josefina couldn't wait to put some serious distance between herself and this relentless family.

As she witnessed their almost frenzied determination, she reluctantly brought her car to a halt.

"Spit it out. What's the big emergency?"

Her icy demeanor was enough to get Lauren's blood boiling.

Lauren snapped, "You've got some nerve, Josefina. Why are you meddling in Ruby's marriage? Tell me you weren't cozying up to the Baldwins in there?"

Frowning, Josefina retorted, "If you're that paranoid, maybe you should seek help sooner rather than later."

Ruby chimed in with venom, "My grandfather arranged my marriage with the Baldwin family. Josefina, can you honestly claim you haven't hijacked my nuptials?"

Billy interjected, "I've already asked around. Brandon dismissed his grandson's engagement to Ruby, claiming young Oliver's heart belongs to another. Brandon even declared the old marriage agreement void."

Josefina chuckled disdainfully. "Unless I'm mistaken, didn't your dad make it clear on his deathbed that the deal was off? It's you guys who've been shamelessly clinging to a broken contract, isn't it?" The trio's faces soured-they couldn't deny the truth in her words.
